Unpacking The carton and shipping materials used in protecting your Citation 5.4 Subwoofer were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration of shipping. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or in the event that the speaker ever needs repair. To minimize the size of the carton while in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This may be done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard packaging and protective materials may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag. Speaker Placement In order to assure optimal performance of the Citation 5.4, some planning and experimentation may be required to find the correct placement in your listening environment. Different room sizes, shapes, furnishings and wall treatments may cause a speaker location that works well in one room not to work in another. In general, subwoofers are non-directional, due to the ear's insensitivity to the directionality of low frequencies. This means that they may be placed in a number of locations within a room. Do not be afraid to move the subwoofer around the room somewhat if you find that the original placement does not produce the desired result. In addition, the size, or cubic volume of a listening room may have a direct impact on the performance of a subwoofer. Depending on the size of a room, and the placement of the speaker, two or more subwoofers may be required to produce smoother bass response over a broader listening area. A good starting point for locating subwoofers is to place them within three feet of the front channel speakers, such as the Citation 5.2. Put one next to the right speaker, and one next to the left. As an alternative, placing one or both of the subwoofers in a system in the corners of a room will increase the bass response. If you are in doubt as to the proper location for speakers in a specific installation, please consult with your dealer or installer. They will be able to advise you.

Unpacking
The
carton
and
shipping
materials
used
in
protecting
your
Citation
5.4
Subwoofer
were
specially
designed
to
cushion
it
from
the
shocks
and
vibration
of
shipping.
We
suggest
that
you
save
the
carton
and
packing
materials
for
use
in
shipping
if
you
move
or
in
the
event
that
the
speaker
ever
needs
repair.
To
minimize
the
size
of
the
carton
while
in
storage,
you
may
wish
to
flatten
it.
This
may
be
done
by
carefully
slitting
the
tape
seams
on
the
bottom
and
collapsing
the
carton
down
to
a
more
two-dimensional
appearance.
Other
cardboard
packaging
and
protective
materials
may
be
stored
in
the
same
manner.
Packing
materials
that
cannot
be
collapsed
should
be
saved
along
with
the
carton
in
a
plastic
bag.
Speaker
Placement
In
order
to
assure
optimal
performance
of
the
Citation
5.4,
some
planning
and
experimentation
may
be
required
to
fi
nd
the
correct
placement
in
your
listening
environment.
Different
room
sizes,
shapes,
furnishings
and
wall
treatments
may
cause
a
speaker
location
that
works
well
in
one
room
not
to
work
in
another.
In
general,
subwoofers
are
non
-directional,
due
to
the
ear's
insensitivity
to
the
directionality
of
low
frequencies.
This
means
that
they
may
be
placed
in
a
number
of
locations
within
a
room.
Do
not
be
afraid
to
move
the
subwoofer
around
the
room
somewhat
if
you
fi
nd
that
the
original
placement
does
not
produce
the
desired
result.
In
addition,
the
size,
or
cubic
volume
of
a
listening
room
may
have
a
direct
impact
on
the
performance
of
a
subwoofer.
Depending
on
the
size
of
a
room,
and
the
placement
of
the
speaker,
two
or
more
subwoofers
may
be
required
to
produce
smoother
bass
response
over
a
broader
listening
area.
A
good
starting
point
for
locating
subwoofers
is
to
place
them
within
three
feet
of
the
front
channel
speakers,
such
as
the
Citation
5.2.
Put
one
next
to
the
right
speaker,
and
one
next
to
the
left.
As
an
alternative,
placing
one
or
both
of
the
subwoofers
in
a
system
in
the
corners
of
a
room
will
increase
the
bass
response.
If
you
are
in
doubt
as
to
the
proper
location
for
speakers
in
a
specific
installation,
please
consult
with
your
dealer
or
installer.
They
will
be
able
to
advise
you.
